WOULD YOU FIRE ON U.S. CITIZENS?
PREFACE:
The following questionnaire was administered to Marines at the Twenty-nine
Palms, California Marine base on May 10,1994. Most of those responding to the
survey had participated in either Operation Just Cause (Panama), Desert Storm
(Iraq), or Restore Hope (Somalia). The Navy Commander handing out the survey
said he was writing a paper for his Master's Degree about giving up the
military's sovereignty to the United Nation's Secretary-General....but,
information from military sources said that it not just a paper, informed
sources told us it is designed and directed by the Pentagon.
